About 60 protesters gathered at the nearest large intersection, about a mile from the home, waving signs and posting photographs of soldiers who have been killed in Iraq.

The president's motorcade did not pass through the intersection, but protesters said they hoped to spread their message to Bush supporters passing by.

George Grider, 55, a Navy veteran of the Vietnam War, said he was angry over what he considers the Bush administration's attack on American values, like "eavesdropping on Americans and jailing people without due process."

He said he feared the United States was becoming "like countries we used to oppose."
